Great game against a team we should have a great game against. Complete domination from start to finish. That's the 60 minute effort we are talkin about!!

The good:

Two PP goals.Perfect on the PKSO for Luongo. The team wanted that SO and nothing sloppy the last 5 minutes.4th line had a strong game and got rewarded with solid minutes and a PP and a PP goal.Great team defence.Luongo very good when he needed to be.The Canucks didn't' get rewarded early but they kept playing their game and it paid off.Hank with a hat trick. OK, it was 3 penalties not 3 goals, but still.Dank threw a couple of big hits.Kesler was in beast mode again.6 in a row.Tanev had one of the best games I have seen him play. Because of the domination Torts got to roll 4 lines which is good heading into the BB with the Bruins.

I love how at the start of the third HNIC announcers, who will remain nameless,talked about a great opportunity for the Oilers and how they were coming on and how the game was still very undecided and a quick goal and the Oilers were in it. All true except for the fact that the Oilers were thoroughly dominated throughout and if not for Duby they would have been down by 4-5 at that point.they tried so hard to make It sound like Edmonton was in the same league as Vancouver. Like it was anyone's game. I get that statistically all that was true but if the oilers were playing Chicago they would have been saying that the Oilers were lucky to still be within a goal to tie it and what a hard road they had to over come in the third to get even. Such crap.

Total domination. The coilers look terrible, they were out-coached,out-hit, out-scored and to think RD was all agog about how the Oilers would become a contender in the west. By the way I haven't seen much of RD in the last six games.Strange how that happens.

Tomorrow is the game of the year,time for Daniel to settle a score with that f----ing weasel Marchand. Nothing I would rather see than the Sedins sandwich that fuck into to the boards and they carry him away on a stretcher

Well that goon Hank took three penalties tonight and Dank threw two nasty hits. That and their interference work I think is preparing them for tomorrow

But it would be a shame if they come out flat tomorrow after knocking off 6 in a row. A character game tomorrow. Don't worry abut Dude. If the Canucks lose tomorrow he will be out in full force talking about how we can't compete with contenders. If we win he will stay away, just counting down to our next loss, ignoring this little win streak we have put together.

I thought it was a fair statement considering how this season has gone so far.

Yeah, the Canucks were thoroughly outplaying the Coilers from top to bottom but how many times have we been up this season only to see the opponents get that tying goal? Plenty of times.

How many times this season have we seen the Canucks actually put the pedal to the metal and put away a team while being ahead? Not too many. The typical way this team plays this season is they go up by one and then start playing scared.

I don't remember the last time I've seen Kesler this aggressive. It felt like he really wanted to punish the Coilers kid core. That lunging hit on Hall? on the PK in the Coiler zone was a bit insane. When Kesler goes, so does the Nucks. It's not the Sedins, its not Luo. It's Kesler. Hemsky definitely did not look very comfortable after that monstrous hit and was pretty much invisible for the rest of the game.

Luo was outstanding. Glove hand was unstoppable, ZERO rebounds and that poke check was insane. Peron was absolutely robbed a couple times. (Perron was one of the few Coilers I felt had a decent game).

4th line actually seemed like the best line tonight when it came to puck possession. Welsh, Weise and Dalpe absolutely owned the boards. The Coiler D just could not pin any of them. Weise in particular was tazmanian devil along the boards. Stick handle up and down, cycle, rinse and repeat. Great to see Weise rewarded with a PP time at the end of the game and a goal to boot!

^I get all that statistical stuff, as I said. But it wasn't fair comment. Fair comment would have been how the Oilers were lucky to still be in at the start of the third and how totally dominating the Canucks were. Yes, bring up the Canucks inability in the previous home stand to hold leads, which they did, but don't sing Edmonton praises like they did. It was embarrassing for them.

I agree with HW, I groaned inside when they started that BS. I thought "What a couple of moronic assholes, anybody watching would call that game complete domination." The only thing they said that held true was when one of the dummies said "Pretty much a one shot and out for the Oilers tonight." Which was exactly what I was seeing. It's strange that a Vancouver trained guy goes east and his brain starts to come out of his ass. Are they told to start downgrading Vancouver or is that just the way it is in Toronto. I can't fathom how a town with such a losing history is so jealous. You would think they would be used to Vancouver being better than them in just about every way.
